In Arizona, one recently introduced bill aims to ban lab-grown meat, and another would prohibit labeling of meat alternatives and cell-based meat as “meat.”
House Bill 2121, introduced by Representative David Marshall (R-Snowflake), would prohibit the sale or production of any “cell-cultured animal product for human or animal consumption.” Additionally, the bill would give anyone whose business is adversely affected by the sale of lab-grown meat to sue the producers of cell-based products and collect damages of up to $100,000.
